BXBX NOVEL Chapter 73 - 72 Aftermath and Reactions
Pei Xuanjing walked away carelessly, completely oblivious to the ripple effect the incident would cause this night.
It should be understood that Tiandu is the capital area, the core of Great Ming.
For a long time, there had been no occasions of even third-grade martial arts masters and pseudo masters fighting to death in the streets, let alone fourth-grade martial artists daring to duel in the streets of Tiandu on their own.
Most importantly, this third-grade master was also an editor with a position in the imperial court. Moreover, the identities of the three pseudo masters who attacked him were actually three criminals from MO Bei, who were always wanted by the Six Gates.
Such a shocking incident was bound to have a huge impact, leaving many people in awe.
Not to mention other aspects, but the way these three criminals managed to sneak into Tiandu and find out about Pei Xuanjing’s whereabouts involves many clues. It is unknown how many people will lose their positions and how many people will lose their lives as a result.
This time, the other party attacked a third-grade martial arts master who was very powerful, so not only was he unharmed, but he also killed those three people.
But what if these three hadn’t targeted Pei Xuanjing, the third-grade master, but someone else?
Officials from the Cabinet, the Six Ministries, and other institutions?
Can they do anything other than waiting for death to arrive?
Even more exaggeratedly, what if a second -class or first-grade martial artist infiltrated Tiandu and attempted to assassinate the emperor and the royal family involuntarily?
Such thought would be unimaginable.
Or imagine a martial artist who uses evil methods to enter Tiandu and mindlessly kill innocent people for his own cultivation?
How could the Land of Ultimate Virtue underneath the Emperor’s foot deal with this situation?
Therefore, although the moon was high in the sky, the relevant officials in Tiandu could no longer sleep peacefully. Every single one of them began to take action.
Within a mansion in the city of Tiandu.
In a dim study, a high-ranking man dressed in luxurious clothes sat in the darkness with a gloomy expression,
Another man dressed in a vigorous outfit knelt on the ground, “Please forgive me, master. I did not expect the Three Wolves of MO Bei to be so useless. They couldn’t even kill a newly promoted third-grade master.”
Even though the luxuriously dressed man looked upset, he didn’t blame the other man, “We underestimated Pei Xuanjing.”
He chuckled self-deprecatingly, “Heh heh, it’s unbelievable. We originally wanted to kill one to warn others, but who knew, we would become the ones being warned.”
“I deserve to die, I deserve to die, ” the man in the vigorous outfit repeatedly kowtowed to apologize.
The man dressed luxuriously waved his hand, “Go now, and make sure to clean up everything and leave no trace behind.”
“Yes, excuse me,” the man in the vigorous outfit retreated.
Once the latter had left, the man dressed luxuriously softly began to speak, “Take care of your tasks efficiently and make sure that there’s nothing leading back to us.”
“Yes, sir.” A voice emerged from the darkness and then disappeared.
In the dark, the man dressed luxuriously broke into a low laugh, “Heh heh, Pei Xuanjing. It really is not the style of a fierce dragon to cross the river!”
Six Gates, main government office.
After Fu Changge brought back the bodies of the Three Wolves of MO Bei to the Six Gates, he stood alone outside a room in the rear of the government office.
“Adoptive father, the bodies of the Three Wolves of MO Bei have been brought back,” he stood bowed at the door.
This was the study of the head capturer of the Six Gates. The door remained closed, only a vague figure could be seen from the faint light of a candle.
The Six Gates were originally an agency under the Three Judicial Departments, but since this head capturer took office, the influence of the Six Gates had been growing, posing a challenge to the Three Judicial Departments.
The Dowerful head caDturer’s voice came from inside, “Have vou met Pei Xuaniinz?
“Yes, adoptive father,” Fu Changge answered respectfully.
“What’s your opinion?”
“He is cautious but also decisive in killing,” Fu Changge thought and then shared his impressions.
He felt that after he had declared his identity and purpose tonight, the other party had put away his sword but still remained vigilant of him.
If he showed any signs of hostility, the other party would probably attack without hesitation, regardless of his identity.
Thinking about it, he added, “He also takes reckless actions!”
“Seems like this person is quite formidable, otherwise you wouldn’t have given such an assessment,” the head capturer pondered.
“In your opinion, if the two of you were to confront each other, who would come out on top?”
“I’m not sure,” Fu Changge thought for a moment and replied.
“Heh heh…”
Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Bin, the commanding officer of the Brocade Guards, heard the report from his subordinate and turned to his deputy, Lin Qingyi, with a smile, “Qingyi, it seems your friend is not to be trifled with.”
Lin Qingyi smirked, “I also did not expect Brother Pei to be so powerful, he killed the Three Wolves of MO Bei. The fact that these three joined forces and killed a third-grade master in the past, yet today they died in Tiandu.”
He was originally here to respond to the invitation from the commanding officer, and then Jiang Bin invited him to stay for dinner.
It was during dinner when they received news of Pei Xuanjing being ambushed.
Lin Qingyi requested Jiang Bin’s assistance, hoping he could send someone to rescue Pei Xuanjing.
Jiang Bin also wanted to use this opportunity to win over Pei Xuanjing, but they had just found people when they received the subsequent news.
“Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to respond,” Jiang Bin sighed significantly.
He originally intended to win over Pei Xuanjing, and now that he saw Pei Xuanjing was such a powerful force, his desire to win him over increased further. This made him feel more regret for missing this opportunity to build a relationship.
Lin Qingyi quickly came up with a plan, counseled Jiang Bin, “Sir, I think there’s still an opportunity.”
Jiang Bin looked surprised, “Tell me more.”
Lin Qingyi suggested, “Didn’t they just say that Brother Pei was intentionally obstructed by the commanding officer of the Military Equipment Department when he was pursuing the last person?
We could use this to our advantage.”
Jiang Bin’s eyes lit up, indeed that could be possible.
The commanding officer from the Military Equipment Department had made himself an enemy of Pei Xuanjing. Using this opportunity he could get into Pei’S good graces.
As for the thoughts of the commanding officer from the Military Equipment Department, Jiang Bin was indifferent.
Others might worry about his inflicted identity but Jiang Bin did not care. For him, dealing with a commanding officer from the Military Equipment Department was of no consequence.
Moreover, he thought of something else. Jiang Bin said to Lin Qingyi, “Fu Changge from the Six Gates is visiting the Martial Academy tomorrow, you should go with him, and take some gifts along.”
Lin Qingyi understood Jiang Bin’s intention and nodded in affirmation.
Meanwhile, in the entire city of Tiandu, they were not the only ones thinking this way.
Dong Factory…
Xi Factory…
